EURUSD closed above 1.1200 yesterday with price action now likely to stay flat within 1.1300 – 1.1270 price level into tomorrow’s ECB meeting. In the near term, expect the price to dip towards 1.12 on the minor bearish divergence that is formed on the chart.Resistance at 1.1270 – 1.1280 remains key to the upside, and a break out above this resistance could keep the bullish momentum send EURUSD to test 1.1300 followed by 1.1341.A possible reversal near the resistance level could, however, signal a near-term weakness,which could be confirmed if EURUSD breaks down below 1.1200.
